Dear Friends,
The last week was an interesting vacation for me. It was my fifth cruise. I enjoy cruising because it is very relaxing and requires little effort because the entertainment is already laid out. I was not nervous this time because cruising has become second nature to me. I always meet alot of people and have a good time. Saying goodbye was a lot easier this time, I ddin't meet any really enlightening people, but I did meet some very interesting ones. I suppose it's hard to meet really special people in one week, but a good time was had regardless.
The trip started really well. My parents and I got along nicely. My dad even bought me beer. I planned on doing alot of partying on this trip. In fact, thats pretty much all we did. I started to pick up smoking on the boat again too. I smoked atleast 12 packs of cigarettes in 7 days. They didn't sell Camel Lights so I had to smoke Marbie lights, which were okay.
Their are so many beautiful girls on these ships. Its amazing how it never ceases to amaze me the amount of beauty found all over this planet. I love girls. I must say that girls are great. The chillest guy I ever met was Dominic. He was the man. He's from Albany New York. Real tough kid, but such a neat guy. We partied it up almost every night. We did up the dance moves every night. I love to dance, it still is one of my favorite things. Not alot of people liked to dance to techno music, but I'd get out on the floor and shake my thing by myself. I'm not that good but I just love to dance. Me and Dom enjoyed pulling the 40 year old ladies on to the dance floor and double teaming them.
Played alot of basketball too. I'm not that good, but I can play defense alright. My shot is hurting because I think too much on the release. I just need to relax and play the game. Basketball never ceases to bore me, because theirs alot of strategy in it and breaking down an opponent 1 on 1 is just fantastic. I'd love to get some pickup games going here.
I also finished the book Gretchen gave me in two sittings. The perks of being a wallflower was a really good book. It was sad at the end though. I found myself crying, and I don't cry usually when I read books. It felt really close to home, and well I admire the character so much. I thought the whole time that I could make a movie out of the book, but I still want to finish the screenplay I'm writing.
Nothing compares to the beauty of the ocean on these ships. I stared at a sunset just the other day and pink sky was absolutely lovely. I thought of many people who I wanted their with me to stare at the beauty of it all. I miss the sounds of waves crashing and wind blowing through my hair, but am glad to be home. I felt the feeling of being home right when I walked off the plane. I smiled.
I missed all of you at home, and unfortunately it seems I missed an oppurtunity while I was away. Things seem to be sad and disconnected here, but hopefully I'll see all of you soon, even though your going back to school. Some things don't change, and not a day goes by that I wish they could've been different.
It's late and I have to go get my doggy back from the Kennel and my sisters awful rabbit too. I missed all of you and still am reminiscing about all the people from the ship.
Love Always,
Chris
